"At the time, [me and Tung] were very close. I think it was one New Year's that I found myself in love with her again, feeling so much love for her. I remember sleeping on the floor in my room at my folks' house, waking with a momentary impression—that was an idea that preceded the images—and getting right up and making myself work before it was gone, to capture exactly what I had seen in just a half an instant. I'd trained myself for a lifetime to catch some of those instances—not only visualizations, but thought-stuff."—Bruce Baillie

Without words, without sound but not without meaning. She exists. Reminded me often of the Mickey Knox snake bite visions from Natural Born Killers. This predates it by 30 years or so.
